No, from the very start it was just a patch. Although over the past month, i have extended it to the entire right side of my face... Even though the original patch is still not good enough, i have realized recently that it is less sensitive than the rest of my face...so perhaps something is indeed w...

well, it has been almost 5 months since i started the cream on an area of my face...and i still don't know if it is working! i thought i had my answer back in June when i went P&P free for about 2 weeks, but then the test patch went mad again and has been a bit messy for the last couple of weeks...

i am back...i did not stop using the cream, just went on holidays and got busy...so, things are looking better with my test area, although my face as a whole is doing better due to warmer temperatures. I will keep going until i am certain that it is helping and then will slowly start using the cream...

8 weeks: i am annoyed. No changes, my skin is still reacting and it still look worse than before. How do you keep going when there has been no signs so far that it is helping? Worse, how do you keep going longer when your skin is actually worse than it was at the start?

hi, 7.5 weeks update: no positive changes. This is starting to drive me mad. I have not seen one indication yet that i am on the right path...based on the other thread, i would have thought that by now i would have noticed something that told me to keep going...on the contrary, the test skin is stil...

6 weeks update: thanks Walter for the encouragement. I need it. I will keep going, i just wished that i had received some signs that i am on the right track... Skin is better than last week but still worse than before i started the treatment...i think i keep enlarging my patch accidentally when i ap...

5 weeks update: bad week. ZZ area is reacting: redder with a few papules; and of course, still very dry and flaky. Except for the very small indication i had last week, i so far have received no signal that i am on the right track. This is getting hard. I have read some of the posts on this forum an...

1 month report: skin looks calmer now but still redder and dryer than before the treatment. However, i finally have one indication that the cream may be helping. I had a bad breakout this week, and my ZZ patch seems to have broken out with less intensity than the rest of my face. So on i go....

3 weeks in: reaction is less and less. Skin is still redder than before i started using the cream, tighter and more flaky. The papules are also still visible but not as much.
So still no indication that the cream is helping overall but initial reaction has clearly diminished.

i guess i will find out. It has been 2 weeks exactly since my first application and i still see no indication that the ZZ cream is helping. However, my skin seems to be getting used to the cream as it no longer burns when i apply it, the redness has subsided a bit, and the dryness and peeling is als...

thanks Walter for your answer. It has been about 9 days and the reaction seems a bit less. However, i see no indication that it is helping my skin as my skin is still much worse than before. However, i will definitively continue to see what happens. Do you or anyone else have any view on what the Z ...

well, i started with the ZZ cream at night, only on a patch on my right cheek between eye and temple. 4 nights later and my skin is a total mess. I have never seen my skin like this, it's red, dry, itchy with papules, pustules and whiteheads... I have read what others have experienced so i will cont...

hi, after battling rosacea for a few years and trying a million things, i have decided to start with the ZZ cream. I have so far applied it only on one patch on the right side of my face as i want to see how bad it is going to get before i apply all over my face (i have read all stories and testimon...
